Wedding Song: All I Want Is You

Over the holidays I watched Reality Bites for probably the umpteenth time, and every time I did I remembered how much I loved the soundtrack. If you’re around my age chances are you played the crap out of it when it first came out…I mean, Lisa Loeb’s “Stay” is on it. What more do you need?

U2’s “All I Want Is You” is on there as well, and hearing it again reminded me what a great potential wedding song it is. For a processional, I would opt to have a string quartet do a version of it (but not the super fast classic version which I’ve heard before). In fact, I think even as a first dance song an acoustic version would work great if you have a band. But it’s a great wedding song as-is, too, so you can’t go wrong. The lyrics are below.

Now I’m going to go listen to “My Sharona,” thank you very much.

You say you wantDiamonds on a ring of goldYou say you wantYour story to remain untold

But all the promises we makeFrom the cradle to the graveWhen all I want is you

You say you’ll give meA highway with no one on itTreasure just to look upon itAll the riches in the night

You say you’ll give meEyes in a moon of blindnessA river in a time of drynessA harbor in the tempest

But all the promises we makeFrom the cradle to the graveWhen all I want is you

You say you wantYour love to work out rightTo last with me through the night

You say you wantDiamonds on a ring of goldYour story to remain untoldYour love not to grow cold

All the promises we breakFrom the cradle to the graveWhen all I want is you

You… all I want is…You… all I want is…You… all I want is…You…
